And I am getting more and more satisfied with icecat. I have critiqued the 
release schedule in the past, but I came to understand that developers need to 
strike a balance between upstream updates and downstream fixes, which are 
often just as important. And since I don't understand any of the technical 
issues facing them, I could as well shut up.

Lacking resources is what is happening, and you just called it "*deliberately* 
harming people's lives". Please consider contributing a binary window$ build 
or a build instruction manual, I am sure the project will accept them. I do 
believe icecat would be better than firefox on any os, and I suspect 
developers would agree. But I would also argue that the edge gained with 
icecat on window$ simply does not warrant an effort to provide it. I am afraid  
that it could also create a false sense of privacy, while no such thing exists 
in the window$ world.

Not worth developing, don't you agree, Daniel? It sounds like you, for one, 
have absolutely no time to contribute, so may be that's all that's happening. 
With more resources, I am sure it would still be provided.
